    Hey everyone. I am ordering new front king coil overs. Doing 2.5s with the "extended travel" option to get my droop back. Now I want to run 700lb coils because of my steel bumper and winch, steel skids, and sliders.

    Now in order to get lift I understand I spin the collars up to preload the coils. Can I get longer 700lb coils so I dont have to preload the springs? If so what length do most guys get? Thanks.

    Standard length is 13" 14" is usually what you want if you don't want to preload the coilovers.

    Usually when going with the 700lb option the coils also jump to a 14" Length.

    Just double checked what we have on the shelf. The Kings do come with a 14"x700lb Coil when you order the 700lb option.
